"Saul Zabar died on October 7, at 97, leaving the Upper West Side in New York a little less bright than the notorious orange synonymous with his family's 90-year old company. For the last 70 plus years, Saul and his brother Stanley led the once 22-feet long shop their parents built into what has become a multi-sensory emporium and a food lover's paradise. Under their watch, Zabar's grew into one city block; but it's one that endears the entire city's heart."
"A staple for all things smoked fish, bagels, coffee, pastries and more kitchen gadgets than anyone could ever need, Zabar's is a place most simply can't leave empty-handed. And because of Saul Zabar, we can not only not leave empty-handed, but we leave with our senses having gone on the joy ride of rides. He curated a world where two products that heighten our senses the most--like coffee and fish--create a utopia of which we all want to be a part."
Saul Zabar died on October 7 at 97, leaving the Upper West Side a little less bright. He and brother Stanley led their parents' 22-foot shop for more than 70 years, expanding Zabar's into a multi-sensory, one-block emporium known for smoked fish, bagels, coffee, pastries and kitchen gadgets. Saul served as the frontman, visible at counters in a white grocer's coat, while Stanley ran operations behind the scenes. Family members said Saul's hand was in every pot and that he treated coffee like fine wine, building a coffee program long before major chains existed.
